Overview:

New Mexico Geological Society grants are awarded every spring to support research by graduate students attending a New Mexico University. A graduate student may also apply for a Graduate Mentorship Grant as an additional funding increment to a "grant-in-aid" application. These grants allow a graduate student to employ and closely mentor an undergraduate student in research activities for a year.

The Society promotes interest in geology and associated sciences, fosters scientific research and publications, encourages cooperation among its members, and stimulates interest in New Mexico geology.

Grant-in-Aid applicants are automatically eligible for the Kottlowski Research Award and Cearley Grant-In- Aid. The two top-ranked grant-in-aid applicants will receive the Kottlowski Research Award or Cearley Grant-In-Aid Award rather than an NMGS Grant-in-Aid.

A graduate student may also apply for a Graduate Mentorship Grant (amount will vary, with a maximum of $1500) as an additional funding increment to a “grant-in-aid” application. These grants allow a graduate student to employ and closely mentor an undergraduate student in research activities for a year. A brief statement of the anticipated duties and research training to be provided the undergraduate student can be added to the graduate student’s grant-in-aid application.

You can learn more about this opportunity by visiting the funder's website.

Eligibility:

The grants are awarded to graduate (M.S. or PhD.) geoscience students enrolled in New Mexico institutions and whose proposed projects are located in New Mexico.

Some “cross-over” projects that have elements of geology, but may not be exclusively related to geology, may be considered at the discretion of NMGS; however, the project must be geology-centered.
